    A thoroughly entertaining game that has a wide appeal for young and old. The low level of violence and simplicity of challenge makes it easy to play. A good solid family game that we highly recommend.

    Even though it's very close to the same game in a different skin, LEGO Batman is still a lot of fun to play, with a lot of places to explore and a lot of extras to uncover.

    No challenge, but weirdly addicting, with lots of secrets to come back for.

    It wasn't a bad game, just too much too soon. I hope that Lucasarts and Travellers Tales learn their lesson from this mistake and wait a while for the next LEGO release.

    Batman is back in the most unlikely of his incarnations. If you love collecting LEGO studs and you are a big fan of the hero of Gotham, then you'll love this game. With two separate quests, you can play as the heroes or the villains, a huge roster of LEGO versions of great characters. Really fun, very big, but unfortunately, very similar to previous entries.
  6. Universo Nintendo

    LEGO Batman's DS version will surely appeal to players who enjoyed the other LEGO series games. However, it won't leave the same impression or sensation that any previous version left.

    It's a simple, bland, but competent game for kids and no one else.

Too similar and without a decent level design (it's stupid to press a button to release a Lego kit to build another button to be able to press another button etc).
